Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 466 465. So this thing just comes out and shouts and that’s it?
The road was relatively peaceful that day. Although there were many mobile signal points nearby, most of them were traveling merchants, mercenaries on the road, or simple explorers.

Embracing ideals and dreams, I set out to find a unique, rarely visited area in the desert, or perhaps to discover a miracle that could bring about a life-changing experience...

To be honest, in the context of pioneering times, there are quite a few people like this.

Many people are very curious about the Safe, and many of them have used various methods in their communications to ask how much the car cost.

In response, Sefer reported a number very honestly, and then the other party fell silent and stopped asking such meaningless questions to make himself bored.

Just when Seifer thought this situation could last another week or so, Xiaotao suddenly rushed into the main control room: "Is the teacher here? I have something important to report!"

Everyone in the control room looked at her, then turned back to work. This cold and violent look made Xiao Tao quite hurt.

Seifer looked up and said, "There are no teachers here, only independent mercenaries like Red Crossbow."

"It doesn't matter! Once a teacher, always a teacher! Anyway, listen to me, Momo has already cracked it!" Seeing someone coming down the stairs, Xiao Tao immediately lay on the railing and looked down.

Completed the crack of...what the hell?
After thinking for about three seconds, Seifer remembered that it was his earlier trophy, the one with a complex combination lock that kept counting down and being reset.

From another perspective, is Momo's brain perhaps even more powerful than the complex computer assembled by Dr. Mei? Not necessarily, perhaps it's purely her sensitivity to numbers and formulas.

Following the bouncing Tao towards the warehouse, we met Miss Nana, who was squatting next to the close-in weapon system, picking out ammunition and loading the ammunition belt with Ichika's juniors.

Seeing Sefer coming over, she immediately dropped what she was doing and jumped over in two or three steps: "Did something happen? Can I go and take a look together?"

Today she changed into a new outfit, with wide long sleeves, a short dress and Martin boots, looking like a little girl going out for a walk.

She even went so far as to style her hair into a single ponytail... I see, there are no wires or bones in her hair, so I feel relieved.

Let her follow, and the group entered the warehouse, and saw that the jar lying at the bottom of the warehouse was still counting down and resetting, and then counting down and resetting again.

As for Marian, she was curled up under a table covered with manuscript papers, wrapped in a sleeping bag and sleeping soundly. It looked like she had sneaked back after being driven away by Cypher.

Seifer didn't want to disturb her, but Xiaotao didn't care. She went straight over, waved the manuscript aside and shook her awake: "It's morning! Wake up! Hey - didn't you tell me to notify the teacher?!"

"Hmm... Hmm... B-but I'm so sleepy..."

"Hold on! The teacher is here! Show him your research results!"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine reluctantly sat up with half-closed eyes, her voice low and heavy from not having slept well. "Indeed, indeed... Good morning, teacher. I've cracked it. Now you can unlock it by entering any number on the password button..."

She yawned deeply, then fell asleep again with her manuscript paper and sleeping bag rolled up.

It was like a last gasp of life, but since she got on the bus, she had been tinkering with this thing whenever she had free time... It was really hard work.

Seifer thought about it on the panel, and dragged the thing to the door of the warehouse to ensure that if it exploded, the power of the explosion could be thrown out of the car in the first time.

Then he confirmed that everyone present was on the crew list to ensure that if anyone died, they could be immediately pulled out of the resurrection array. After making these preparations, he reached out to the panel and hesitated for a few seconds.

Then enter 2825628257, and the countdown will immediately return to zero. After a crisp "beep" sound, a burst of gas will gush out from the sealed hatch.

The sound of "puff" made Seifer immediately step back and hold his weapon tightly. The group of people he asked to stay away hid behind a large box and secretly peeked out.

Low-temperature freezing gas mixed with water vapor in the air continued to gush out. After it stopped, the hatch finally slid slowly to both sides.

After confirming that the contents would not explode, everyone stretched their necks to see what was inside.

Cypher was the first to stand up and peer into the cabin—but what he saw wasn't the imagined frozen sleeping beauty, the refrigerated beauty, or the beautiful girl's brain. Instead, he saw a metal sphere immersed in some liquid. The liquid was rapidly evaporating, and the silvery-white metal sphere was slowly glowing, as if awakening.

It doesn't seem right to use the word "awakening" to describe a strange metal ball, but it suddenly floated up after emitting a faint sci-fi blue light.

At the same time, it makes a sound.

[Detecting that the external environment is stable, switching to active mode...]

Seifer felt like he had never heard this sound before, and then Xiaotao exclaimed, "This thing actually makes a sound! But I can't understand what it's saying!"

Others nodded.

However, Leica, who had been online the whole time, thought for a while and told the group of people who were also online to receive her message that this was a binary language.

So this thing is a creation in a vision, and then it appears so openly, even floating in the air in violation of common sense of gravity.

No one spoke, just watching the thing slowly light up with a breathing blue light, and then one side of it automatically separated, releasing the same blue halo from the monocular camera.

[Sufficient external energy detected, resuming external communication mode. Multiple biological signals confirmed, analysis commenced...]

The sphere descended on its own, first looking at Cypher, then after a brief pause, flew to the other side as if defying gravity, scanning Xiaotao.

She immediately fell backwards to the ground, but the sphere didn't care and just turned to the other people.

After completing all the scans, it returned to its original position and stood still, seemingly analyzing its internal state.

No one had ever seen such a scene before, and they all looked at Seifer, as if they had already determined that only he, the driver, could handle this kind of thing!

But to be honest, Sefer didn't understand either. If this thing was what he thought it was, it should have recognized him immediately.

But not only did it not recognize it, it seemed to be slowly performing some internal calculations. Considering that many things were better not to delay, Cypher immediately stood on the jar and reached out to take the thing off.

It was quite large, at least as large as the upper half of Cypher's body, and as soon as it was caught, it immediately opened its eye.

[Warning: Interference with this machine's behavior is prohibited without permission. Any behavior that crosses the line will be considered a threat. This machine has plenty of...]

As it was speaking, some electric sparks flew out of the thing, and it suddenly jammed, and its eyes suddenly switched to red, and then switched to blue again.

Damn, it crashed!

Cypher looked at the others and said, "It... is probably dead."

"We worked so hard to crack this thing! It broke so easily?!" Xiao Tao shouted in disbelief. Several people came over and surrounded the motionless machine, looking left and right.

To be honest, this thing has been in this jar for so long, and even has crystals crawling all over it. It's amazing that it can come out and say a few words.

It is not impossible to send it after the event...

As Seifer explained this, Miss Nana reached out and curiously poked the dimmed camera—under her finger, the thing suddenly lit up with a bright blue light again.

Without hesitation, Cypher grabbed the sphere and pressed it into the chamber.
